Sweden Calls Allegations of U.S. Eavesdropping on Allies 'Unacceptable,' Demands Explanation On 6/1/21 at 10:00 AM EDT Associated Press reported on Monday. "We want the cards on the table," Hulqvist said, adding that it was "unacceptable to eavesdrop on allies." Danish lawmaker Karsten Hoenge of the left-leaning Socialist People's Party, which is supporting Denmark's Social Democratic government, said he would quiz Denmark's defense and justice ministers about the case to get some answers. "The government must explain how come Denmark has been acting as a willing tool for a U.S. intelligence service, and what it will mean for cooperation with Denmark's neighboring countries," he said.
